POLITICAL BITTERNESS BEGINNING
TO SHOW ITSELF.
No Chance for Any OF the Territories
To Be Admitted Into the Union-Pre-
pairing for the Session of Congress
Soon to Begin.
Special Dispatch to the Appeal.

Special Dispatch to the Appeal.
WASHINGTON, Nov Senator Har-
rison, of Indiana, who was the chair
man OF the committee on Territories in
the last Senate, said today that he does
not think there is the slightest chance for
the admission of any OF the Territories
which are knocking at the door of the
Union this winter. The senator says that
Montana, Dakota and Washington are all
entitled to statehood, but the near APP
proach of the presidential election will
certainly keep them out for while. He
thinks that the three Territories above
named may possibly secure recognition of
their claims during the second session of
the next Congress, but he does not believe
that either Utah or New Mexico is ready
to assume the responsibilities OF state
hood.

ada, and intend obedience to every re-
requirement Of the customs laws and of

duly authenticated by this department and
having permit "to touch and trade" should
be permitted to visit Canadian ports aud buy

an vessels. That right is denied
by the Privy Council and the Governor
General of the Canadian Dominion. upon
the ground that it would be in effect pro
tanto abrogation of the treaty Of 1918. That
contention is an error in the opinion OF this
department, because the Treaty Of 1918 has
no application to the subject matter. If the
right claimed by this department for Ameri-
can vessels authenticated by this department
were conceded by Canada, 1t would only ap-
entry Of foreign vessels, and would
merely enable United Stares fishing yes
sells TO pursue their regular business after
entry into or departure from such ports un-
der the same rules and regulations as are APP
piled TO the commercial vessels OF other ma
tions. We ask that American fishing vessels
shall enjoy hospitality In such Cana

foreign vessels, for the unlanding and ship

had occasion in the past, and may
be compelled in the future, to

there never has been in the past, and / hope
there never will be in the future, such pas
sionate spite displayed by the officers of this
government, as has during the last summer
been exhibited in the Dominion of Canada
toward well-meaning American fishermen.
Congress has forbidnen the head Of this de-
partment to prosecute even for evasion Of
tariff law unless satisfied of IAN actual in

INDIANA POLITICS.
a Stormy Session at the Meeting
Yesterday.

INDIANAPOLIs, Ind, Jan. 1O.-The Joint
session Of the Legislature convened today at
the Capitol to canvass the vote for Lieuten-
ant Governor. The reading of the returns
consumed half an hour, and at its conclusion
the result Of the vote was announced as fol-
lows: Robertson, 232, 916; Nelson, 229, ,593.
Mr.. Robertson was then sworn by Judge
Walker Of the Superior Court. The session
was stormy, the Democrats protesting against
the proceedings. Mr.. Robertson endeavored
to address the session, but the Democratic
members were bound he should not be heard.
Notwithstanding the noise and tumult, he
proceeded TO deliver his inaugural, but the
noise was so great 1t was heard by but very
few. At its conclusion he declared the joint
session adjourned TO reassemble In the same
hall on Wednesday, the 10th, TO vote for
United States Senator.
Speaker Sayre then took possession Of the
gayel and the House adjourned.
When the house reassembled, Jewett
Dem.) offered a resolution reclting the fact
Of the election for Lieut.. Governor, can
yassing the vote. etc., admitting all points
excepting the one as TO whether there was q
vacancy In the Office Of Lieut. Governor and
inviting Mr. Robertson 10 seek a solution
through the court. The resolueions were re-
jected after debate, the Republican Speaker
maintaining that the general assembly was
the only tribunal In which to settle the mat
ter.

a WOMAN WITH a REVOLVER
Kennebunk AgItatedIove tho DoIngs
OF Two Strangers.

Kennebunk Depot has got a live mystery
on its hands that bids fair TO develop into a
sensation such as 1t has not enjoyed in a
very long time. About nine ears ago set
Of farm buildings were burned In the town,
and certain party was suspected Of having
set the fire. There were no reliable grounds
for basing an accusation, however, and after
a time the matter was allowed to drop and
was apparently forgotten. A few weeks ago
two Of Kannebunk Dcp0t-s tUwusmen got
into a controversy which waxed warm, and
before 1t terminated one accused the other Of
having set FIRE to the buildings alluded to
above. A few days after this strange man
made his advent In town, and purp0rted TO
be an insurance agent As such he was
looked upon by the people at first, but a
Portland man went there three OF four days
one Of the villagers what business called
him there. "Oh, he's an insurance agent
working up business for his company re-
piled the Kennebunk Depot man. "Insur-
ance agent be blowed." exclaimed the man
from Portland, II know him, he's one Of the
smartest detectives In Maine"
The stranger remained In town but few
days longer, and a day OF two after he had
gone strange woman came TO town 0stensi-
bly, to learn telegraphy at tho Flying Yankee
telegraph school. After she had been In the
place day OF two, she wrote a note 10 the
owner Of the buildings that were burned, re-
questing him to meet her. He paid no heed
to this, but soon after received another In
which the woman asked him 10 meet her at
a certain house In town. He went upon the
evening appointed, aud upon entering the
room where the woman was the latter closed
and locked the door, and drawing revolver
from her pocket pointed 1t at his head and
demanded Of him all he knew about the
burning Of the buildings. What afterwards
transpired In the room Is not known. but II
Is supposed that he made some sort Of
summoned into Portland to appear In court
in relation to the matter. There the mystery
rests. and the people Of Kennebunk Depot
are on the anxious seats awaiting further de-
velopments.

dians OF commerce, that it would ruin the
country If It would prevent determinations,
rebates and drawbacks He knew of no
higher evidence of the omnipotence of these
railroad people than their ability to obtain
from respectable boards of trade such reso-
